The Cohesive Gel Breast Implant
~Extraordinary Implant Promises to Revolutionize the Breast Augmentation andReconstruction History~
For more than 10 years, American women's choices for breast augmentationhave been limited to saline or silicone-filled breast implants…but, notanymore! Dr. Donald W. Kress, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, is the firstand only plastic surgeon to introduce the Maryland, Washington DC andVirginia area to the newest advance in breast implants – the “Gummy BearBreast Implant” or as it is known in clinical terms, The Cohesive GelImplant. Dr. Donald W. Kress has been named as one of 23 FDA clinicalinvestigators in the US and he has performed the Gummy Bear BreastAugmentation in 140 patients, all with incredible aesthetic outcomes andhigh levels of patient satisfaction.
The Gummy Bear Implant has all the advantages of the traditional siliconeimplant but eliminates the two biggest problems: rupture and leakage. Thesemi-solid gel implants, called High-Strength Gel Implants, feel softer andmore natural than saline implants, and unlike saline implants, they are lesslikely to wrinkle. The high-strength gel implants also differ from saline orstandard silicone implants which leak if the implant shell is ruptured.Cutting into a high-strength gel implant is a little like cutting into a"gummy bear".What is "high-strength gel"?High-Strength gel is a form of silicone that, due to tighter molecular bondsin the silicone, is semi-solid.
For instance, if the silicone rubber shellof a high-strength gel implant is cut or punctured it maintains its shapeand does not leak.What are the advantages of high-strength gel breast implants?High-Strength gel breast implants are soft and natural feeling. Unlikeliquid-filled implants (saline and liquid silicone), a high-strength gelimplant maintains its shape and upright position, which decreases theincidence of the implant shell folding and the development of rippling. Alsounlike liquid-filled implants, high-strength gel implants do not leak if theimplant shell is broken.
The alternative to silicone is saline, and for many women, saline implantssimply aren't good enough. Overfilled, they're hard; under filled, theywrinkle. Saline implants may also make a sloshing sound and rupture easily.If a woman has scar tissue left after a mastectomy, a saline implant isharder to camouflage.These new implants are approved for an FDA clinical trial and can be used inall applications including breast enlargement, breast reconstruction andbreast augmentation. It is the first, truly "shape stable" implant for morenatural augmentations, especially for small breasts.
